STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A Tompkinsville man is accused of pulling a handgun on his neighbor and threatening to shoot him during an early-morning argument Sunday.

"I'm going to (expletive) you up. I'm going to shoot you. I'm going to take you out," Albert Williams, 33, is accused of telling a man who lives in another apartment in his Brook Street building.

The incident happened at about 1:10 a.m. Police arrested Williams about 20 minutes later, but could find no gun, and no surveillance cameras were present to record the encounter, according to court papers.

Williams told police that he was arguing with his wife, and his neighbor got involved in that dispute, according to a law enforcement source.

"I didn't do anything. I don't have a gun," he told police, according to the source.

Williams faces charges of second-degree menacing, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree harassment, all misdemeanors, according to information from District Attorney Daniel Donovan's office.

He was arraigned Monday in Stapleton Criminal Court, and remains held on $2,500 bail until his next court appearance Friday.---Follow @siadvance on Twitter, join us on Facebook
